New Delhi, Sep 29: It has been eight years since the Nirbhaya incident that shook the country with its gruesome cruelty, where the 23-year-old survivor died after she was gang-raped by six men, and tortured in a private bus in which she was travelling with her friend.

On the same note, a 19-year-old girl who was allegedly gang-raped by 4 men in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh on September 14, succumbed to the injuries on Tuesday morning at a Delhi hospital.

As soon as the news broke out, netizens make #Nirbhaya trending with asking questions to govts, expressing mourn for the woman, while some expressed their rage as the incidents of rape never stopped.

Giving details of the incident, Hathras SP said that the woman had gone to the fields with her mother on that fateful day and had gone missing soon after.

She was later found brutally injured, with her tongue having a serious cut as she bit it while the accused attempted to strangulate her, he said.

Also, according to the spokesperson of the hospital, the girl's legs have been completely paralysed while her arms have been temporarily paralysed.

She was shifted to the national capital after her family members said that they wanted her to undergo treatment there.

The SP said initially they came to know that Sandip (20) had tried to kill her following which he was arrested the same day.

Later in her statement to the magistrate, the victim said that besides Sandip, Ramu, Lavkush and Ravi had raped her and when she resisted their attempts, they tried to strangulate her, leading to the cut in the tongue, the official said.

Later, Luvkush and Ramu were also arrested and the fourth accused was arrested on Saturday, the SP added.
